@60Minutes If there is a large demand then they need to stop complaining and start paying more. There are a lot of jobs (listed a few below) that are safer, more comfortable, and probably closer to where you live. It is supply and demand Not demand and complain

While attending the University of Pennsylvania, Elon Musk rented a 10-bedroom house and converted it into a nightclub, charging students a $5 entry fee.

Is this publicly funded, privately funded, or a mix? If private donations are involved, that materially changes the argument. Also—separate issue: The U.S. hosts world leaders constantly. Is it unreasonable to have a permanent, secure, purpose-built space instead of temporary setups? Fair to debate cost. But also fair to ask what the alternative standard should be. Clarity matters more than outrage. #Politics #GovernmentSpending #Taxpayer #PublicPolicy

Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One, President Trump showed off a rendering of his planned $400 million White House ballroom. The planned addition is facing a key vote this week. A federal judge may also rule to halt the project. wapo.st/3NLEWPR

Missing context: They earned it and at higher income levels face combined tax rates that can exceed 50% when you include federal, state, and city taxes. People taking risks, working insane hours. Many fail. Then others who didn’t take that risk want the benefits. This is a free country. You can go build your own. #Taxes #NYC #WorkEthic #Economics

Claim: "The top 1% paid 40% of all NYC income taxes!"😬 Missing Context: The top 1% earn 43-45% of total income in NYC. 🤔
The🐰FOO@PolitiBunny

How much more of other people’s money do you think you’re entitled to? In 2025, wealthy New York City residents paid a combined marginal tax rate exceeding up to 51.8% or higher—when combining federal, state, and city income taxes. The top 1 percent of earners in NYC paid over 40% of all local income taxes.

I think the ages depend on men and women. For women, generally earlier tends to be better biologically. For men, many focus on building a foundation first, often closer to 30. That said, I do think there was value when people married earlier and built a life together. #Family #Parenting #LifeChoices #Marriage #Discussion

The top 1% pay ~45% of federal income taxes. The bottom 50% pay ~2–3% (Source: IRS) Why are we so focused on the wealthy? When nearly half the country contributes little to federal income taxes, yet the conversation is always about spending more. At some point, we have to talk about: who pays vs who benefits #Taxes #Economics #FiscalPolicy #Wealth #Data

$6K/mo sounds safe, but math says otherwise. After tax: $1M → ~$650K invested (Option 1) $6K/mo → ~$4K invested (Option 2) At ~7%: 10 yrs Option 1 ($1M): ~$1.28M Option 2 ($6K/mo): ~$700K 20 yrs Option 1 ($1M): ~$2.5M Option 2 ($6K/mo): ~$2.1M 30 yrs Option 1 ($1M): ~$4.9M Option 2 ($6K/mo): ~$4.9M Monthly barely catches up after ~30 years. I’m taking Option 1 every time. (Not financial advice) #Investing #PersonalFinance #Compounding

According to @PramilaJayapal, more money can solve these problems. Let’s look at her home state: Washington (last 10 years): 10B+ spent on homelessness (state + local) 18K → 28K homeless (+50%+) Spending up. Homelessness up. This isn’t just a funding issue. It’s an outcomes issue. Sources: HUD PIT Count, WA Dept. of Commerce, King County reports #Homelessness #PublicPolicy #Data

Let me break this down simply: We have a greed problem. We can afford Medicare for All. We can afford to house every person sleeping on the street. We can afford to make public college tuition free and guarantee access to universal pre-k to every child in America. The money exists. It's just sitting in the bank accounts of billionaires who write blank checks to corrupt politicians to make sure it stays there. Tax the rich. Fund the people. That's it.

What would help this 20 year old is free public college/ a good trade school and federal policies to create good jobs across America. I get it's politically easier to keep bashing immigrants or welfare cheats. The country is crying out for a more substantive vision.
Nick shirley@nickshirleyy

True. Most 20-year-olds are actually starting life behind the starting line. They accumulate student loan debt, graduate with a useless degree, and can’t get a job paying above $60,000 Meanwhile, fraudsters defraud the government, making millions Stopping fraud will benefit my generation more than any other as our dollar gets devalued and we have less money to put in the markets to hedge against inflation The idea that a foreigner can start a “business” that collects welfare dollars from taxpayers while 20-year-old college graduates can’t get a good paying job is unbelievable End the fraud.

Last year, the people in charge cut SNAP food assistance and gave that money to billionaires as tax breaks instead. New estimates show that those cuts are likely to lead to 70,000 avoidable deaths. 70,000 people might die—but don't worry, billionaires got their tax breaks.

Logically, agreed. A 401k with a match is standard and relatively easy to do if your job offers it. But it’s money you won’t touch for decades. The reality is, money in your younger years isn’t the same as money later in life. I’ve seen it with my parents. They did well saving, but they’re not as active now. People assume they’ll fully enjoy that money later. That’s not always how it plays out.

This is our God: Jesus, King of Peace, who rejects war, whom no one can use to justify war. He does not listen to the prayers of those who wage war, but rejects them, saying: “Even though you make many prayers, I will not listen: your hands are full of blood” (Is 1:15).

Absolute bombshell. Pope Leo directly rebukes Pete Hegseth for trying to frame the Iran war as a Christian holy crusade. The Pope declares God will not listen to their prayers because their hands are full of blood. A devastating moral condemnation of the Pentagon.

@theficouple Over $4k/month is impressive. How are you generating enough income to cover expenses and still invest that much? Also, are you including 401k contributions and match? I contribute but don’t usually count it. I see it as standard, especially with a 6% contribution + 6% match.
